Garlic Lemon Chicken

Recipe:
1 lb Chicken (we used bone-in breast this time)
2 Lemons, sliced
2-3 Cloves garlic, finely minced
1 T Dried tarragon leaves (or more or less to your taste)
Salt and pepper to taste

Butter sides of crock pot. Place chicken inside. Mince garlic and slice lemons. Sprinkle chicken with garlic, tarragon leaves, salt and pepper. Set to low and cook 6-8 hours (if cooking from frozen, set to high for 2 hours and then to low for 4-6 hours). Enjoy with your favorite sides.

Adventure:

I always love it when Jonathan decides to help with dinner. Abigail was having a rough day Thursday, which is when we were scheduled to feed the missionaries. With her feeling especially needy, I was running out of morning to start the crock pot in. Jonathan volunteered to help out and Gary wanted to help too. Gary watched as his daddy minced the garlic and then helped sprinkle it on the chicken. He also helped crunch the tarragon leaves in his fingers as those to went into the crock pot.

As Abigail calmed down, I handed her to Jonathan and sliced the lemons before having Gary help me arrange them on top of the chicken. Once all the lemons were in the crock pot, it was time to put the lid on and get it started. Gary helped with both.

  

 With the crock pot turned on and everything set up, we started preparing to have Steven over to celebrate his eighteenth birthday. Throughout the day we could smell the lemon and chicken simmering in the pot. Despite all the busyness of the day we were able to have dinner mostly ready when the missionaries arrived. They helped out with getting the salad made and then we gathered about the table. Then with garlic toast and fresh salad, we enjoyed the chicken we'd been smelling all day. And it was another successful cooking day for my littlest chef.
